Naming Your Baby An Exboyfriends Name Posted: 08-12-05 13:56pm
Ok this may be a just a minor
dilemma...But I need some opinions.
I have thought of many different names for
a boy - I have picked these couple names:
ryan, kyler, jack, brayden, adam
now is there some kind of general rule not
to name your kids after
exboyfriends...What if you really like
their name. Is it weird? I touch base
with some exs here and there - wouldnt it
be disturbing to them if I named the
child the same as them...They would think
I was naming the baby after them correct?
Should I care?
I havent nessecarily mentioned every
single exboyfriends name to my husband -
do you think he would care where the name
came from?
I would love to hear any thoughts on this
topic:) thanks!!

I would say it is a definite no unless it
is a family name already, think how you
might feel if 1. Your so named the baby
after an ex and you didn't find out til
you ran into her out and about.
2. Think how you'd feel to meet an ex
with a daughter with your name or to run
into your so's ex and find out her son
shares your so's name. It would be weird,
i'd say definitely don't use them.
Err on the side of caution. There are
thousands of great names, it shouldn't be
impossible to find another name you like!

I would name my child a name of an ex
boyfriend if I liked it enough... I mean
it is going to be your childs name for the
rest of your life... Is the ex boyfriend
going to be in yourlife that long? Or is
he that important to you still where you
still think about him enough for it to
remind you.
Id say if you like the name then name your
child that. If you didnt name your kid
after someone who has the same name then
there wouldnt be anything left to name our
kids,
for example, I know a girl names haylee
that I hate, but I love the name and would
name my daughter that. You cant think of
the people you know with the same name or
youll have a tough time finding a name.
Ok..Hopefully you can understand that.
Lol I think I said the word name like 40
times. Basically you cant think of other
people while naming your child.
(unless you are trying to honor someone.)
good luck.

Also I dont know any of the names of my
moms ex's. She never talked about them.
Unless you plan on telling your kid all
the guys you used to date .. I dont
think that would be an issue..
